Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelation 4:24:2 Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and Onesat on the throne.
At Patmos Island, John saw the throne of heaven and the persona of God through a vision.
Now, we can see the throne of heaven and the persona of God through the revelation of the Word of God and the anointing of Holy Spirit.
Why does God reveal His throne and persona towards us? So we can experience the love and visiting of God.
Psalm 11:411:4 The Lordisin His holy temple,the Lord's throne isin heaven;His eyes behold,His eyelids test the sons of men.
One of the forms of His love is the test, the sprinkling of blood, the cross, or the suffering in the flesh together with Jesus. Why does God allow us to experience the test?
- Through the suffering in the flesh together with Jesus, we can stop sinning and live in His way.
1 Peter 4:1-2
4:1 Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,,
4:2 that he no longer should live the rest of histime in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.
We experience the releasing or redemption from sin so we can live in righteousness and holiness until our tongues say true words, no lie.
1 Peter 1:18-19
1:18 knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, likesilver or gold, from your aimless conduct receivedby tradition from your fathers,
1:19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.
It means we have the silver in spirituality or the redemption.
Proverb 10:20
10:20 The tongue of the righteous ischoice silver;the heart of the wicked is worthlittle.
- Through the test, we have the pure, firm, and tested faith. It is the gold in spirituality.
1 Peter 1:6-7
1:6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials,
1:7 that the genuineness of your faith, beingmuch more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,
Until the faith becomes perfect that is faith and the deed of it, or obedience until the flesh does not sound anymore.
Acts 3:5-83:5 So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.
3:6 Then Peter said, "Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk."
3:7 And he took him by the right hand and lifted himup, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
3:8 So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them--walking, leaping, and praising God.If we have the spiritual gold and silver, we will receive the power of Jesus' name that is able to perform the miracles. The results are as follows:
- The spiritual miracle. It is the life renewal from carnal man to spiritual one like Jesus.
The proofs are as follows:
- We can be faithful and fervent in ministry.
Proverb 23:16
23:16 Yes, my inmost being will rejoicewhen your lips speak right things.
Until we delight in the true teaching Word.
Psalm 119:16
119:16 I will delight myself in Your statutes;I will not forget Your word.
Isaiah 5:7
5:7 For the vineyard of the Lordof hosts isthe house of Israel,and the men of Judah are His pleasant plant.He looked for justice, but behold, oppression;for righteousness, but behold, a cry for help.
God will also delight in our life even though we still have a lot of weaknesses. If we are faithful and fervent in ministry, we still have opportunity to be worked by the true teaching Word until we bear the sweet fruit.
- Returning the belonging of God that is tithe and the special offering.
Genesis 28:22
28:22 And this stone which I have set as a pillar shall be God's house, and of all that You give me I will surely give a tenth to You."
- The physical miracle. It is the power of healing from any diseases and the help of God to make impossible things possible.
Acts 3:2
3:2 And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple;
God opens the door of the future that is successful and beautiful for us. The power of lifting from fall and drowning. Everything is restored by God. We are employed in the revival of Holy Spirit at the last rain. If Jesus comes a second time, we are changed to become perfect. We do not stumble in word, but only cry out 'Alleluia' to greet His second coming on the glorious clouds. The door of heaven is open for us and we sit together with Jesus on the throne of heaven forever.
God blesses us.
